Summary

I researched the surrounding neighborhood of the park and examined the businesses around the location. By using Google Maps, views of the property which the park will be located on was able to be looked at in depth.
The location of the park is convenient to the surrounding neighborhood. The park is located in the downtown area and is surrounded by buildings. The area needs a green space to brighten it up.
